Alumasc Rendabrick Brick Effect Render System • When to Specify
Applications
Rendabrick is a specially formulated polymer render which simulates the appearance of brickwork. It can be used in conjunction with the Alumasc external wall insulation (EWI) systems, Swisslab & Swisspan, or as a render only solution.
▪ For new build and refurbishment projects
Full elevations can incorporate the product or it can be used for banding, coins or general features, supplied in a range of different colours for both brick and mortar.
▪ Applied in 2 coats
▪ Can be used in conjunction with the Swisspan EWI system or as a render only solution ▪ A simulated brick finish that can match existing brickwork or create new effects and details
Performance ▪ Fully warranted system with 30 year effective life when used with Swisslab & Swisspan EWI systems ▪ Weather resistant, whilst remaining vapour permeable ▪ Protects the structural fabric of the building from environmental deterioration ▪ Durable and lightweight ▪ Increased bond strength when compared to sand and cement ▪ Highly resistant to impact damage

Alumasc Rendabrick Brick Effect Render System Typical System Components ▪▪ Solid Masonry Substrate ▪▪ Powder Coated, Galvanised Aluminium or Stainless Steel Beading ▪▪ M.R. Bedding Adhesive (used to adhere insulation slab) ▪▪ Alumasc Insulation (choice of insulation slab available) ▪▪ Approved Mechanical Fixing ▪▪ M.R. Scrim Adhesive (used as a reinforcing layer) ▪▪ Alkali-resistant Glassfibre Scrim (bedded into M.R. Scrim Adhesive) ▪▪ M.R. Rendabrick Base Coat (coloured to desired mortar colour) ▪▪ M.R. Rendabrick Top Coat (coloured to represent brick) CERTIFICATE No 93/2914
Available Finishes
Coverage Rates Base Coat = 2.5m @ 8mm per 25kg bag 2
Top Coat = 7m2 @ 3-4mm per 25kg bag
Rendabrick Application ▪▪ Rendabrick Base Coat is applied, typically to a cured M.R. Scrim Adhesive layer, at 8mm minimum and allowed to’ pick up’ but not cure ▪▪ The Rendabrick top coat is then applied to the Rendabrick Base Coat at 3-4mm and textured with a sponge or brush depending on desired effect. ▪▪ Once the Rendabrick Top Coat has ‘picked up’ but not cured, the Top Coat is carefully set out, marked and cut back using a specially designed cutting tool ▪▪ The Base Coat is exposed, resulting in a realistic brick finish ▪▪ Careful attention to the setting out of the courses and features is necessary
